@pennypollack: Kudos to the pastry chef @ Chez Moi. The sturdy canelés have pudding soft interiors—totally jazzed by the chocolate & apricot dips. CHEZ MOI: 2100 N HALSTED; 773-871-2100

More mussels, more broth, more bread! There was plenty to eat @ Frog n Snail. I just wanted more. FROG N SNAIL: 3124 N BROADWAY; 773-661-9166
Chocolate Dessert @ Frog n Snail
Peanuts, potato chips, and pretzel stix plopped on chocolate ice cream and mousse @ Frog n Snail? I don’t think so. FROG N SNAIL: 3124 N BROADWAY; 773-661-9166

Sturgeon @ Nellcôte
Between the carrots, peas, & way aggressive sorrel w/the grilled sturgeon @nellcote833, the fish got lost in shuffle. NELLCOTE: 833 W RANDOLPH; 312-432-0500
Pizza @ Nellcôte
I’ll take pesto on a pizza instead of tomato sauce anytime—especially on the burrata @nellcote833. NELLCOTE: 833 W RANDOLPH; 312-432-0500
Halibut @ Nellcôte
@pennypollack: I loved Alaskan halibut @nellcote833, but why call that creamy yellow stuff soft scrambled eggs? More like hollandaise. NELLCOTE: 833 W RANDOLPH; 312-432-0500
